No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of home-based measurement of walking capacity in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients, uing the Global Positioning System (GPS). This study should state if the GPS technique could be used in clinical routine in order to assess walking capacity in PAD patients. Patients will be assessed a first time (test 1) and six months later (test 2).

PROCEDURE

GPS recording(s) of walking capacity in PAD patients

Home-based GPS recording(s) of walking capacity in PAD patients. Two evaluations will be performed. The second evaluation will be performed six months after the initial assessment (test 1) and only for patients with GPS maximal walking distance below 2000 meters at test 1. It is expected that some patients at test 2 will have undergo surgery or endovascular treatment.
